Re: Why I love this list and the people on it!/Messy....

[Guest guest]

I have to throw in my two cents as well.

I'm mostly a lurker on this list, and to be honest, sometimes feel a

little guilty 'eavesdropping' on the 'regulars'.

However, I have found this list to be the most INCLUSIVE, warm,

welcoming place, not only on the web, but really in any group I've

ever belonged to. I am so grateful for the answers to direct

questions I've asked and never once felt like 'oh this question

again!' People here will answer questions over and over as new people

ask. Mostly though, I have found more comfort in hearing stories of

what other people are going through - and survived! Things that I am

smack in the middle of and can't even verbalize yet. I can't tell

you how many times I've read something and literally said out loud " Oh

my God! That is ! " and felt such relief that I'm not the

only one in the world going through that, and laughing that not

sleeping and hand puppets and self talk are apparently housed on the

21st gene.

My son is 8 also...actually 9 tomorrow, and I promise to be better

about jumping in and answering questions as well.

Thanks to you all,

Christy
